Flats

May 29, 2008

I travelled up to Paris early yesterday morning to visit an appartment.  When I got to the agency they told me it had been let the day before.  I was really gutted and dispondant.  How is it ever going to be possible to find somewhere here when they are snatched up before I can even get to a viewing?

Anyway, on the way back home I stopped in on another agency and they had something to show me.  It was perfect!  (Well, almost!)  It was a great little flat with a kitchen that opens onto a small shared garden and it even has a bath and room for a washing machine!  I have given them all the papers they asked for and now I’m just waiting for the landlord to make his choice.  I know that at least 3 other people have already visited.  With my missionary status it is quite difficult becuase I don’t fit into the normal mould.  Please pray that the landlord would be favourable.

News Update

Sorry I haven’t posted after our campaign…I have been exhausted!

The weekend was a mixture of encouragements and dissapointments.  We distributed all morning Saturday.  For lunch I co-ordinated a meal for 50, except only 30 turned up!  All afternoon we were out.  Me and Paul called on a lady I know and we drank mint tea and chatted with her for about 2 hours!  In the evening it was the concert.  We had a room for 400, we were about 200 with about 70 non-christians.  it was OK.  I was kind of dissapointed.

My neighbour came with his wife and we had a great discussion with both of them.  She is from Morroco and someone was able to speak to her in Arabic so it was great.  Please pray for the seeds sown. 

The concert is really good with lots of humour.  The Gospel message was clear and a handful of people resonded.  We will be supporting them on their journey towards Christ.

Monday I was SOOOOO exhausted that I didn’t get out of bed till midday, after going to bed at 10pm!!
